Super Chevy Readers’ Rides from Around the Nation

Bow Tie Keepers

Quick Take: Eric says he thinks of his 1991 Beretta GT as the SS Chevy should have built. “I swapped in a 3.4-liter V-6 from a 2004 Impala and installed modified Grand Am headers with a K&N intake,” Eric tells us. “The front sway bar is FE7 Beretta GTZ and the rear, a fat Addco. The clutch is a 2+ from Spec and I converted the open diff to a limited-slip with the help of Engineered Performance. My best time is a 14.96 at 96 mph.”

Jeff Conaway1989 Camaro RS

Quick Take: From Topeka, Kansas, Jeff’s mom bought this 5.0-liter 1989 Camaro RS convertible brand-new, complete with a five-speed stick. Jeff said his RS has 42,000 original miles and has never been driven in the winter. It’s optioned with air conditioning and power windows and the factory wheels have never seen the road—they’re still in boxes!

Quick Take: An oldie but a goodie, Jeff’s 1938 Chevy pickup runs a 350/350 drivetrain and sits on an S-10 chassis with power steering, power brakes, and runs 80 mph all day long with the A/C blasting.
